President Barack Obama got four mayors to fully endorse his nationwide program to build welcoming communities for millions of new Americans and roll out the red carpet.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed  who recently made headlines for terminating his citys fire chief over a Christian book that described homosexual behavior as sin  signed on late last month to join three other mayors of major American cities: Los Angeles Eric Garcetti, Chicagos Rahm Emanuel and Nashvilles Karl Dean. Reeds message to the millions of refugees and immigrants entering the country: Come to Atlanta.

Reed became the nations fourth mayor to embrace the White House push to roll out the welcome mat for new immigrants and refugees and remove barriers to citizenship, WND reports. Critics say the program has little to do with creating new citizens and everything to do with creating new Democrat voters.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently declared Atlanta an official welcoming city after Reed signed the White Houses deal to join the others.

The truth of the matter is a lot of our foreign-born population lives in rural areas in the region and so I am telling those folks, I think you are better off being inside the city limits, Reed expressed to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. And if other folks dont want to stand up and welcome you, why are you there?

Join or be jeered

Upset at other mayors who havent jumped on board to roll out the welcome mat to millions of new immigrants, Reed argues that city and state officials across the nation should fully support Obamas controversial tax-funded program.

Reed blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is leading a group of 25 other states, including Georgia, in suing to stop Obamas plans to shield from deportation millions of illegal immigrants, WNDs Leo Hohmann informed. The states argue Obamas executive actions amount to an unconstitutional end-run around Congress.

Reed went on to make Obamas welcoming plan into a civil rights issue, also arguing that ushering immigrants into urban areas has financial benefits.

Reed told the AJC those governors and mayors who dont welcome refugees and immigrants will eventually be seen as having been on the wrong side of history and theyre also on the wrong side of the economy, Hohmann continued. Reed has done a lot of work leading up to last months signing of the deal with the federal government.

A nationwide welcome wagon

WND learned from Atlantas City Spokeswoman Melissa Mullinax that for more than a year, Reed has played an integral role in bringing Obamas well-funded Welcoming America plan to fruition.

Welcoming America is headed by David Lubell, a close associate of President Obama who met with the president when he announced his executive amnesty plans in Nashville last November, Hohmann reports. Lubells group was hatched in 2010 with $150,000 in seed money from billionaire George Soros and is now flush with federal grants.

Organizing to promote the presidents nationwide, Reed has spent an exorbitant amount of tax dollars to fund the multi-tiered project.

According to city documents, Reed agreed on Sept. 17, 2014, to implement a list of 20 recommendations from the Welcoming Atlanta Working Group, an outgrowth of Lubells national Welcoming America, Hohmann points out. Number 10 on the list was to open citizenship corners at local libraries and to conduct voter registration drives and outreach at City of Atlanta festivals. Number one on the list was to Create an Office of Multicultural Affairs with a Director who is part of the Mayors executive team.

Obamas nationwide Task Force on New Americans is being spearheaded by former National Council of La Raza Executive Cecilia Muñoz. She was ecstatic to have a major city in the South on board.

Congrats to Mayor @KasimReed & @USCIS for supporting #NewAmericans and increasing access to citizenship in ATL! Muñoz tweeted to express her excitement over partnering with Reed.

Not a good idea

Despite more and more mayors joining in on Obamas immigration program, a number dont share the presidents eagerness to implement it.

But some mayors have pushed back, including those in Manchester, New Hampshire; Amarillo, Texas; Lynn and Springfield, Massachusetts; and Athens, Georgia, Hohmann asserts. These mayors have sought to stop or slow the flow of refugees to their cities because they are becoming a drain on public services, especially schools. It is also becoming more difficult to find jobs for the refugees, some mayors say.

Jihad Watch Director of Research Chris Farrell says that Obamas Welcoming America project simply isnt good for the country.

Theyre not concerned about whats necessarily good for their particular city, Farrell insisted when interviewed by WND. What theyre concerned about is redistribution of wealth and power, and enrolling as many to the voter rolls as possible. Its about entitlement, dependency and more broadly its about voter registration drives. Because what Mr. Obama promised when he talked to Joe the Plumber was fundamental transformation, and hes very deliberate and hes keeping good to his word.

Sign me up!

Looking past the warnings and red flags, L.A., Chicago, Atlanta and Nashville have already signed formal partnerships with the federal government with the purpose of making new Americans out of refugees and immigrants.

In addition, WND reports that dozens of other mayors across the U.S. have been partnering with the Partnership for a New American Economy on an informal basis. One dozen mayors have taken it a step further and have championed Obamas immigration program wholeheartedly in their cities.

In October 2014, after thousands of unaccompanied alien children crossed the U.S. southern border from Central America, Lubells Welcoming America honored 12 mayors it said had the compassion to welcome the children into their cities, WND recounts. Refugee Resettlement Watch blogger Ann Corcoran called them the dirty dozen.

How utterly sickening to know that the money this central socialist government robs us of to pay the salary of this stinking muslim phony president and pay for the resettlement of thousands of Trojan horses!

There is NOTHING GOOD added to this culture by their adding these worthless humans.

They will not work at becoming a citizen, in fact they won't work Why admit them for any reason but to enlarge the Socialist Democrat voting base?

They're being treated as a SPECIAL TREATED CLASS of illegals! They're dirty, their children unruly and our nation's stores are becoming filthy and messy. Lines are longer because they bring full baskets to the cashier and pay with food stamps while I bring much less because mines not free.

We have to be more careful driving because they drive with whatever rules they know, not ours and of course, crime is up. I feel like Im in another country because theres not much English spoken around me.

Our pharmacy used to be quick but now they have to find someone to translate to an illegal getting FREE drugs while I wait longer to pay for mine. This is a disgusting, evil plan perpetrated on the American people.

I DO NOT WELCOME ILLEGALS and their uneducated, backward culture! Manners, respect, honesty, integrity, good behavior, responsibility, cleanliness are all standards I see being lowered in our society because some have this absolutely STUPID, IDIOTIC idea that multiculturalism is something good.

Most of these muslims will not assimilate; and some disaffected young will develop into 5th columnists awaiting internet instructions to strike. Those working will take jobs that would have gone to local blacks.

This could be an amazing, rousing campaign issue, but for the GOPeffete.

That is the heart of all of this. This is about political power and revolution. Once these illegals are able to vote with impunity the closet Bolsheviks will step into the sunlight to openly wage revolution. Then it will be Game On...

Good idea. Put them in downtown Atlanta where nobody in their right mind ever goes anyway and then when the Amish set it on fire it takes care of two problems at the same time.

Hey "WE THE PEOPLE"....demand your Governor/mayor/sheriffs ENFORCE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT LAWS!!! If you sit and do nothing...don't complain about this flagrant misuse of our laws and the results of such....you are part of the problem.........

I love how they always refer to them as “immigrants”. They are not “immigrants”. They are enemies of the United States because their first order of business as foreigners is to go on the offensive against the people of the United states by breaking laws of the United States. That’s why supporting scAmnesty is TREASON. When a person robs a bank or commits any crime how is it presented in court? It says THE PEOPLE VS. ______. Versus, actively opposed against an offense. Court is used as a defense and the said enemy is neutralized and/or controlled whether it be incarceration or some other form of punishment. The definition of “Enemy” is “a person who is actively opposed or hostile to someone or something.” One of the main tenants of Treason is “adhering to the enemy giving aid and comfort”. We have 4 million people right now looking to enter the country LEGALLY. These politicians are giving preference to ENEMIES of the United States rather than those who choose to empower it. Supporters of scAmnesty are probably the most blatant traitors that ever were because they constantly admit to supporting enemies of the United States, ESPECIALLY when the majority of Americans are against it and nobody holds them accountable.

18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason

“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
